A rare original large-format poster titled “Gendai Kaisen Gainen-zu” (Modern Naval Battle Concept Chart). Issued by the Yushukai Foundation on June 15, Taisho 14 (1925). 205 × 77 cm (80 × 30 in). This highly detailed lithograph illustrates Japan’s interwar vision of a future naval battle. Combining traditional battleship tactics with new warfare elements such as airships, aircraft squadrons, and submarines. It reflects the Imperial Japanese Navy’s evolving doctrine following the Washington Naval Treaty (1922). When Japan was rethinking its maritime strategy under fleet tonnage restrictions. Above the sea, airships and observation balloons are seen monitoring the battle. Submarines advance beneath the waves, symbolizing the growing importance of underwater warfare. An accompanying explanatory sheet provides detailed notes on fleet formations, unit names, and battle stages. A vivid glimpse into the Navy’s educational and tactical thought process at the time. The Yushukai Foundation, based in the Imperial Navy’s Mizukosha facility in Tokyo. Was an officially supported patriotic and educational organization. This poster was produced for public exhibitions and naval education. To inspire citizens and cadets with a modern vision of naval power and technological progress. This 1925 edition predates the Yushukai’s better-known “Battleship Cutaway Diagram” (Taisho 15, 1926). Making it one of the earliest known Japanese visual depictions of an integrated air-sea battle. It vividly captures Japan’s transition from a purely battleship-focused strategy to a combined-arms doctrine. That would later define the Pacific War era. Original 1925 print, not a reproduction. Noticeable wear, tears, stains, and toning due to age (see photos). The main image remains highly legible and visually powerful. Very few surviving examples are known worldwide.

This is an original Imperial Japanese Army military handbook titled. (“What Every Logistics Soldier Should Know”), supervised by the Army Inspector General of Military Education. The cover is marked. Army Inspector General of Military Education Supervision. This was a compact educational handbook intended for soldiers serving in the Japanese Army’s logistics and transport branch. What Was the Army Inspector General of Military Education? The Army Inspector General of Military Education was one of the most influential organizations within the Imperial Japanese Army. It was responsible for military doctrine, officer education, training programs, and the preparation of official instructional materials used throughout the army. Because this handbook was supervised by that organization, it was not simply a commercial publication but an official educational reference reflecting Imperial Japanese Army training standards. The Forgotten Soldiers of the Japanese Army. The Shichohei (Logistics Corps) were responsible for transporting food, ammunition, equipment, uniforms, and horses to frontline units. In modern terms, they were the military logistics and supply branch. Interestingly, logistics troops often received less prestige than combat arms within the Japanese military culture. A famous wartime saying even mocked them as. Shichohei are not real soldiers. History ultimately proved otherwise. Many military historians consider Japan’s chronic logistical weaknesses to be one of the major factors contributing to its defeat during the Pacific War. As supply lines collapsed, entire units suffered from starvation, ammunition shortages, and lack of equipment. This handbook therefore represents a rarely preserved glimpse into the branch responsible for sustaining the Japanese Army. Imperial and military flags. Orders, decorations, and medals. Army uniforms and equipment. Logistics and transport training. Several attractive fold-out color plates illustrate military insignia, decorations, flags, and uniforms, making this both a practical military handbook and an excellent research reference. Why It Is Scarce. Most Japanese military instructional materials were discarded or destroyed after 1945. Pocket reference books such as this were heavily used by soldiers and rarely survived in good condition. Furthermore, while infantry, aviation, and armored units are widely collected today, surviving materials relating specifically to the Japanese Army’s logistics branch appear much less frequently on the market. An excellent item for collectors of Imperial Japanese military history, military education, uniforms, insignia, and logistics history. Own a Piece of History. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.
